"Nonsense, Harry, nobody is more kind-hearted, more——"
"Look here, Val, I won't have it. Do you hear?"
"Have what, Harry?"
He lowered his voice. "I won't have it. You must go back. It isn't that I mind. But Romer will soon think it extraordinary, your sitting out alone so long."
"No, he won't."
"All right then, he won't. He must be an ass," said Harry angrily. "I don't know what he's thinking of. Hasn't he got eyes?"
"Yes, of course he has."
"And eyelids too," said Harry. "I dare say he pretends not to see that Vaughan admires you. Too indolent to bother about it."
"Really. Harry—you go too far. Are you thinking of pointing it out?"
She got up.
